TECHNICAL LEAD - Java

Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)

About the Role

Were looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience to join our engineering team. Youll work across the stack from building performant, user-facing features in React to designing scalable backend systems in Java while owning the infrastructure and operational practices that keep everything running reliably in production. This is a high-ownership role for someone whos comfortable moving between application code, system design, and infrastructure.

What Youll Do

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack features using Java (Spring Boot or similar) on the backend and React on the frontend
• Architect and evolve database schemas; plan and execute data migrations with minimal downtime and no data loss
• Design for scale: implement appropriate caching strategies for the application, optimize query performance, and reduce latency across the stack
• Scale applications to handle growing load identifying bottlenecks and designing for horizontal/vertical scalability across the stack
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps (ADO) to enable fast, safe, and frequent deployments
• Own deployment and orchestration using containers and Kubernetes (pods, clusters, services)
• Collaborate with DevOps/SRE practices monitoring, alerting, logging, and incident response using Azure Monitor to ensure system reliability and observability
• Drive engineering best practices: code reviews, testing strategy (unit/integration/e2e), documentation, and technical design docs
• Act as a solution architect for features and systems evaluating trade-offs, designing scalable and maintainable solutions, and documenting architectural decisions
• Participate in architectural decisions and mentor junior and mid-level engineers
• Debug and resolve production issues, performing root cause analysis and implementing long-term fixes
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering teams to translate requirements into technical solutions

What Were Looking For

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant full-stack ownership
• Strong backend experience in Java (Spring/Spring Boot ecosystem preferred)
• Strong frontend experience in React (hooks, state management, component architecture)
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (ADO)
• Practical experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes pods, deployments, services, clusters)
• Solid understanding of database architecture (relational PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server) schema design, indexing, and query optimization
• Experience planning and executing data migrations in production environments
• Ability to choose and implement the right caching approach for a given application (in-memory, distributed, CDN, etc. not tied to a specific tool)
• Demonstrated experience scaling applications diagnosing performance bottlenecks and designing systems that scale with load
• Strong solution architecture skills able to design end-to-end technical solutions and communicate trade-offs to stakeholders
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure
• Experience with Azure Monitor (or similar) for logging, metrics, alerting, and observability
• Strong grasp of software engineering best practices: testing, code review, version control workflows, secure coding
• Strong testing mindset writes thorough test coverage and proactively thinks through edge cases and failure scenarios, not just the happy path
• Comfortable using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor) as part of the daily development workflow
• Excellent communication skills and experience mentoring other engineers

Nice to Have

• Exposure to NoSQL databases
• Prior experience in a platform, DevOps, or SRE-adjacent role
• Contributions to system design or architecture at a previous company
